Check out Botanical Bazaar festival here: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Rsvdfl⁠The Gold Coast's Premier Gardening and Sustainable living festival August 2nd and 3rd. We live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands. We acknowledge them as holding deep ecological knowledge and their ability to live sustainably in harmony with the land. They and other ancient cultures are roots of permaculture—working with nature, fostering resilience, and ensuring balance for future generations.Show notes:In this episode of The Practical Permaculture Podcast, Alysse sits down with the inspiring duo Ashleigh and Jarrod, who left the city, lived in a tent (WHILE PREGNANT!) to build a cozy, eco-conscious  built with hempcrete! (Spoiler alert —  it's amazing.)Join us for a chat about their journey through the highs and lows of building a sustainable home from the ground up. Navigating building codes and pushing for their non negotiable items (double glazing) Ashleigh and Jarrod share how they turned their permaculture principles into practical, livable reality — one step at a time.Expect real talk about:

A teenager who collapsed in a park in Ashford has been diagnosed with rare heart disorder after previous seizures were blamed on ‘anxiety'. The 16-year-old survived the ordeal but she has been left brain damaged – her family say her illness should have been detected much sooner. Also in today's podcast, dogs will be kicked off many of Kent's most popular beaches from today to make way for visitors coming to the coast this summer.The rules, in place until September 30, could see any dog walker caught breaking the rules risking a £100 fine – we've been on the coast to get reaction. Free rape alarms are being offered to all residents in a village after multiple flashing incidents were reported.One perpetrator is said to have exposed themselves to terrified women on several occasions near Whitstable last year.A village pub is set to have its licence reviewed over alleged fire safety failings.Kent Fire and Rescue Service has made a formal request to Medway Council to review the licence of the boozer in High Halstow over inadequate fire safety assessments and warning systems.And a pregnant Orangutan at at Kent animal park has been trained to have ultrasound scans like a human. Awan is critically endangered and the imminent arrival at Wingham near Canterbury is being seen as significant for the conservation of the species.

Controversial plans for a 2,500-home estate near Sittingbourne are back on the agenda more than six years after they were first suggested.Developers want to put properties on farmland off the Sheppey way in Bobbing and say they've addressed concerns over open space, sports provisions and road links.Also in today's episode, an inquest into the death of a young girl at a music festival in Margate has heard more than 80 people were found with drugs at the event.17-year-old Emily Stokes suffered a cardiac arrest after taking MDMA at the drum and bass festival at Dreamland in June last year.A Kent MP is urging the government to do more to clear the backlog of crown court cases in Kent.Tris Osborne's told a debate in Westminster Hall more than 2,300 are waiting to be heard in Maidstone, with almost 900 due to be heard in Canterbury.A protester's been thrown out of a meeting as plans were discussed for new homes near Canterbury.Developers wanted to put 17 properties on land in Wingham, but it got heated during talk about a pedestrian crossing on Preston Hill near the busy A257 - the main road through the village.And in sport, it was another draw for Gillingham in league two last night as it finished 1-1 at Chesterfield.Elliott Nevitt scored for the Gills before the home side equalised on 77 minutes.

You might remember a couple of months ago when I said goodbye to my radio career in Wingham, I mentioned that I'd left a few doors open. Never say never I thought. Were my intentions to retire? Well, yes but I was also aware that I love doing radio and if I had a chance again someday, I might take it. I didn't think anyone would knock quite so quickly though. It was Nick Cadotte, manager of Shoreline Classics offering me a perfect opportunity to slow down a little without actually having to give up completely, something I truly love to do. Nick joins me today along with Shoreline Morning Man, Roland Archer to talk about our shared love of radio, how Shoreline came to be, their respective journeys and a mutual passion for community!

I've spent a significant part of the last 45 years doing radio in Wingham, almost 35 of those years getting up around 4:am to do a morning show on one of the three stations here. I hope this podcast doesn't sound too self congratulatory. To be honest I think I did it as much for me as I did for the pod. It's a bit of a stroll down memory lane and I was filled with all the feels while recording and putting it together. I'm honoured to have two people joining me who have been a big part of my career for most of those years. The one and only Julie B from 1017 the One and Paul Dekker from Conway Furniture. My friends, are here to reflect and reminisce with me about a life that is truly good.

It was Coffs Harbour based jockey Jon Grisedale who alerted me to the fact that Trevor Hardy was getting close to retirement. The veteran horseman will call time on his 50 year career when his only horse, seven year old gelding Aheadofhistime loses his zest for racing. For twenty years Trevor combined horse training with the running of his small transport business, but had to choose between the two following multiple bypass surgery in 1996. He plumped for full time training, and hasn't regretted the decision. The 83 year old joins us on the podcast to talk about his life in racing. He's a little nervous about the dramatic change in lifestyle. Trevor says Aheadofhistime has extended his training career.  He talks about Aheadofhistime's early career in Queensland and subsequent deeds on the northern rivers, including an emphatic win in last year's Kempsey Cup. Trevor acknowledges the support of Neil Osborne who purchased his Coffs Harbour stables but made a box available for Aheadofhistime. The veteran is a true north coaster. He was born at Wingham in 1940, but moved to a Coffs Harbour farm with his parents at age 3. He remembers those early days on the farm. He talks of his introduction to horses at local pony club and a subsequent involvement in the rodeo. He sustained one nasty injury. Trevor talks of his first venture into the trucking business and the purchase of his lucerne farm at Tamworth. He ran that farm for a decade. Finally it was back to Coffs and the establishment of another trucking business, this time delivering smallgoods to supermarkets and restaurants. He trained a few horses at the same time. Trevor talks about two uncles Ron and Bob Gosling, both successful trainers in their own right. He remembers his very first win with Poplar Prince at Coffs in 1976 and Sunny Regent, the first nice horse to enter his stable.  Trevor pays tribute to Jack Howe, his first major client. Jack owned a Hunter Valley stud farm where he stood former top stayer Passetruel. Trevor went on to train many of the stallion's progeny. The trainer talks of the heart condition that gave him a massive wake up call in the mid 90's. Major surgery was required. Trevor talks of the early history of the Coffs Harbour Cup and its huge prize money boost in 1971. He profiles some of the best horses he's had the pleasure to train over the years. At the top of his list is Elite Ted, winner of 13 races including 9 in Brisbane. Trevor acknowledges the deeds of Johann Lover, Symposium, Elite Score, Elite Dubleo, and several others. He looks back on the timely arrival of Glen Colless into his care at a time when he was juggling two jobs.  Trevor pays a heartfelt tribute to the Coffs Harbour born jockey who went on to great success in Queensland.  The trainer looks back on the arrival of his next star apprentice. Zac Purton weighed 33 kgs and had to start from scratch. Trevor says his late wife Trish not only mothered the tiny apprentice but acted as his manager when Zac became a jockey. Trevor and Zac caught up in Hong Kong a couple of years ago. He pays tribute to daughter Joanne whose training achievements include a Country Classic win at Rosehill in 2021. Trevor talks of the five Asian apprentices to spend time in his care a few years ago.  He makes special mention of partner Wendy Howe, a long time massage therapist whose patients won't let her retire. It's a great pleasure to acknowledge the achievements of a highly respected country trainer.

13. maja 2024 je umrla Alice Munro, kanadska pisateljica in Nobelova nagrajenka za književnost leta 2013. Rodila se je leta 1931 v kraju Wingham v Ontariu in prvo kratko zgodbo napisala še kot najstnica, zavzeto pa je začela pisati in objavljati, ko je imela trideset let in si je s težavo trgala čas od gospodinjskih opravil. Prvo knjigo je objavila leta 1968 in dobila zanjo največjo kanadsko književno nagrado, potem je na vsakih nekaj let objavila novo knjigo kratkih zgodb in ves čas dobivala različne nagrade, nazadnje še največjo, Nobelovo. Alice Munro je tudi med Slovenci zelo priljubljena pisateljica, prevedenih imamo pet knjig njenih kratkoproznih besedil. Oddaja o veliki pisateljici, ki jo je leta 2007 pripravila Katarina Mahnič - kot hommage »umetnici sodobne kratke zgodbe,« - tako so zapisali v utemeljitvi Nobelove nagrade.

In 2004, just before she won the Scotiabank Giller Prize (for the second time) for her story collection, Runaway, Alice Munro met Eleanor Wachtel at a restaurant near the author's home to discuss her new book, her interest in writing about infidelity and sex and her life growing up in Wingham, Ontario. The acclaimed Canadian short story writer, and Canada's first winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, died on May 13, 2024.

A Saskatchewan actor has had some really kind words to say about a movie Evan is excited to see. The Fall Guy came out in theatres on May 3rd and Jason Wingham, a Saskatchewan-born actor currently in Vancouver, is thrilled to see the movie supporting stunt actors. He joins Evan to talk about that realm of work.

The Karen Owen story had potential podcast written all over it from the moment I interviewed her after a recent Randwick win with Fay's Angels. A horse devotee from an early age, Karen was a whiz at pony club before transitioning to the eventing sport.  She dreamed of a job around horses, and jumped to attention when an opportunity came up with the NSW Mounted Police. Thirty three years later she left the force with the rank of Sergeant, and immediately embarked on a racehorse training career. Karen says she rarely has more than ten horses in work on the Killawarra property. She explains that most of her horses have been bred by clients. Karen says she's too busy to pursue her first equestrian love of eventing, but still has a presence in the dressage arena. The trainer says she likes to keep her horses as close to nature as possible. The property offers several options. Karen says the horses are floated to the nearby Taree racecourse when a serious gallop is required. She pays tribute to veterinarian husband Adrian who had to build up a new practice from scratch when the family moved to Wingham. Karen talks of daughter Maddy who was literally born to the saddle, and wanted to become a jockey from the moment she started riding trackwork. The talented horsewoman looks back on early days in Sydney's western suburbs and her very first pony- a gift from parents who knew nothing about horses. Karen talks of her first year as a Probationary Constable with the NSW Police. She was restricted to general duties for the first year of her new career. Most of her work was located in Sydney's King's Cross. She looks back on her long awaited introduction to the Mounted Police Headquarters in Redfern. She's never forgotten the immaculate condition of the stables and gear. Karen says she was one of only three females in the mounted unit. It's a very different story today. The former Sergeant Owen takes us through her many and varied duties with the “Mounties” including a very intimidating situation during the Cronulla race riots of 2005. She makes no secret of the fact that race day duty at nearby Randwick was easily her favourite working commitment. She says the buzz of the track whetted her appetite for racing. Karen looks back on a few notable former racehorses who found their way into the Mounted Police Unit. She talks of her first meeting with Veterinarian Adrian Owen whose duties included regular visits to the Mounted Police stables at Redfern. Karen looks back on Adrian's  stint as a hobby trainer in the late 1990's. She got the job as chief work rider before going off to work. Eventing was still very much a part of her life. She looks back on a trip to NZ for a Trans Tasman Challenge. Adrian came along as babysitter for first born Damian. Karen affectionately recalls a dream trip to England in 2012 when she got to ride before Queen Elizabeth. She recalls a conversation with Her Majesty and a humorous comment from the Duke Of Edinburgh. She's never forgotten the moment she saw the Queen in the saddle at 86 years of age. Karen looks back on the thrill of receiving the Australian Police Medal, and her promotion to the rank of Sergeant. She talks of the riding talents of sons Damian and Callum. Karen looks back fondly on the thrill of her first training win at Bowraville. She talks of a Taree Gold Cup win with Sound And Vision, part owned by former Mounties working associate Ed Quilty. Karen acknowledges daughter Maddy's clever ride on Sound And Vision. She delights in relating the story behind her first Randwick winner  Fay's Angels. Another former work associate was responsible for Karen being given the mare to train. She says the quirky mare is well suited to farm life. Karen talks of the mare's veteran owner breeder Ed Meadows who's now 97 and going strong. It's a nice chat with a lady who can't imagine a single day without horses.

Believe it or not, I used to be young. Whenever we studied Shakespeare in high school, I would wonder how language could have possibly changed so much in just a few hundred years. Now that I'm a little older, I have to smile everytime I hear a word or phrase I've never heard before. Language is constantly changing and every generation seems to take it another few steps into the future ... for better or for worse. This week Milli and I talk quickly about some phrases that Boomers use that Gen Z doesn't understand. And, I will put my favourite millennial to the test to see if she knows these words and phrases. And then ... some words all generations understand: ice cream, fries, burgers, poutine :) We will talk with the good folks from Frosty Queen in Wingham ... home of the world's best poutine, amazing ice cream and much more. John Frieburger (former owner) and Paige Steep (current owner) will talk about the past, present and future of the iconic business on Josephine Street.

Our life is long. Our journey and our experiences are here to guide us and teach us. We have to have the courage to listen, learn and explore. We should be curious about our interests, ideas, and dreams. We should take time to discover ourselves because there is no template for how to do our life and out career. When we gain deep levels of self-awareness, it gives us the ability to have empathy for others and serve our community. And when we use our gifts to serve others in a meaningful way, then we've set ourselves up for success. In this week's episode, we will listen to our final speaker Kelly Wingham — Founder and President of Data Activation Center, Inc. — as she tells us the story of how she pursued new opportunities and turned her company into a success. In her talk, Kelly talks about her many different experiences and the struggles she has faced over the years. She shares unconventional path to where she is now, and how she kept going even when things got difficult. Throughout her life, Kelly has been able to see recognize possibilities and to easily visualize the outcome. Over the years, she explore many new opportunities and business ideas. About 10 years ago, she discovered an underserved market and recognized its potential. However, along the way, her company hit some major roadblocks and she was forced to change the business model. At one point, things were so tough that Kelly was digging through her old purses looking for change. One day, she received a call from a referring customer who proposed the solution she needed. Without a legal agreement or a meeting in person, a large sum of money was deposited in Kelly's account, and she started to grow her company again. This year her company — a female-owned and operated business — is expected to close with $2 million in revenue. Listen in to learn more about how Kelly had the courage to pursue new opportunities, and how she persisted through all the challenges her company faced. And tune in next week to hear an episode wrapping up the Stand Tall In Your Story series and thanking the companies and people that came together to make this an amazing event.

Dave (Buzz) Reynolds is someone I have crossed paths with twice. In the early 90's I met him when I was doing overnights at CHOM. The AM station down the hall was 990 Oldies. We were working for CHUM Ltd. at the time. Fast forward ten years and we found ourselves together at CHOM in Montreal, now owned by Standard Radio. We last saw one another around 2005 and through the wonders of Facebook, never bothered to call one another because - well are Facebook friends so that should be good enough, right?We spoke about his journey through the major markets, and the joy he found in Saint John, Campbell River and now Wingham. Radio is different in those markets when it comes to handling social media, and Dave has learned a lot and shared a lot. Buzz is most proud of the CKNX Relief truck which fills the Huron County food banks in the region.
